Esports gamblers are a unique type of gambling population, with rare characteristics and behaviors compared to other types of gamblers. Esports gamblers were found more likely to be young males, likely to score high on problematic gambling scales, and likely to belong to households speaking a non-English language at home in English speaking countries. A total of 30 studies from eight countries were included in the review. Only empirical studies were included and were also assessed for potential biases using the ROBUST guidelines. A systematic review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines was undertaken using PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. The present study aimed to comprehensively review all empirical research conducted in the wider field of esports gambling. While research has been increasing in the field of esports-related gambling, no study has yet reviewed the relevant literature on esports gambling. Esports gambling has steadily grown in popularity alongside esports itself.
